It is a… comical approximation of:
どういたしまして
Dō-i-ta-shi-ma-shi-te
Roughly:
Dough Ee Tah She Ma She Tay
… but all said rapidly, together.
It means “You’re welcome”, but is maybe slightly more formal than it is casual.
The joke is that it is maybe what a native English speaker would hear, when a native Japanese speaker says “You’re welcome” in Japanese.
